Blog Post #2 ~ first thoughts of " The Last Child "

"Johnny learned early"


When I read this line for the first time, what I thought about was, what did he have to learn early?


As of now, I think the "good guys" are Johnny,  and the cops. And the "bad guy" is the father. I think that the cops are good because they have been trying to help find Alyssa for the past year. They also have been checking up on her family to make sure everything thing is going okay.
"I'm sorry I couldn't bring her home. You know that right?" said Hunt. This quote shows his actual disappointment in himself and it reinforces that he just wants to help. I think the father is the "bad guy"  because he left his family after Alyssa went missing. Almost like he didn't care enough to stay or maybe he had something to do with it so he fled.


I choose this book because I had heard great reviews on it and the plot sounded interesting and so far I really like it.
